Remembering: Scott Cain

As sad as it is, I'm going through a Scott Cain revival at the moment, so in all seriousness, lets begin shall we?

Scott Cain was the third winner of Australian Popstars. Like his predecessors Bardot and Scandalous, he was doomed for failure, all though "I'm Moving On" is quite the popstastic gem, unfortunatly for him he was moving on down towards the bottom of the charts!

However, my favourite moment in Scott's short-lived career is his ode to Hilary Duff, in which the Duffster's lookalike looks more like Britney!



Truly, the lyrics are pure genius, and seem as though they were written by a 10yo, yet somehow kind of seem almost stalkerish...

Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff!
I watch her all the time on the tv and stuff,
I'd send you flowers if I knew where you live?
I'd give you presents if I knew what to give?
I love you as Lizzy, you make me Dizzy everytime!

Anyway, the point is, it's a crime that his career was so tragically cut short... and at least we know he's now making an honest living working at Harvey Norman in an outter Melbourne suburb, as reported in the Melbourne Herald Sun . Who knows, he may still have that signed photo of him on display!

Happy 70th Birthday Bert Newton!

Happy Birthday Bert Newton! One of Australia's true icons, and IMO the TRUE King of Television! People such as Bec Hewitt should be greatful at sharing their birthday with such a fabulous icon. All I get is that bitch from the Seekers and Tom Cruise, which sucks majorly.

Updates Galore!

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. To be honest, I haven't been bothered.

I'll begin with my latest celeb pics, which were taken at the Vanessa Amorosi gig which I went to a few weeks back. Ness rocked out and I seriously want to go again. I almost had multiple orgasms at meeting Molly Meldrum too. For a faghag like myself, I often get moist at the encounters of gay icons.




And Vanessa is love too. If you haven't had a chance to check out her tour, I urge you all to do so, because she knows how to rock it. Be prepared to wait like 2hours for her to get on stage, by the time she came on it was after 10pm and I was ready to throttle someone.



BABY NEWS!



I'm so excited by this news. My favourite girl, Bec Hewitt has announced she's knocked up again! YAY for Bec n Mia. I couldn't give a shit about Lleyton honestly, it's all about the girls. I'm so excited for Bec, I LOVE her. Anyway, bubs will be due in January, so Mia is going to have a little brother or sister. I just hope that bubs doesn't arrive mid-way through the Australian Open!



Also, Nicole Kidman has given birth to baby Sunday Rose... poor kid, I imagine she'll get teased once she starts school.


TOUR RUMOURS
Kylie will be hitting Australian shores in December for a bunch of concerts. Also, Delta's supposed to be touring in November. I just wish the girls would hurry up and announce dates!

TERRI WINS BIG BROTHER 2008!
Personally, I despise BB, yet I do find myself watching it on occasions, usually during Home and Away adbreaks, and have fallen in love with Grandma Terri, obviously Australia did to, as she walked away with the $250,000 prize money.

Last night I was celebrating as it was the final ever BB, thankfully it won't be returning next year. WOOHOO!

Natalie Bassingthwaighte bids farewell to the Rogue Traders

This makes me sad as I LOVE the Rogue Traders. Anyway, Nat's pissing off to persue a solo career and try and make it big in America.

Hopefully, she won't be hosting any TV shows for awhile. Her performance as host of So You Think You Can Dance Australia was dismal and she needed a kick in the ass.

Personally, I'd love her to return to Neighbours! Afterall, who could forget the fabulous storyline, that led to this explosion!

bronze statue of Nick Cave at Warracknabeal could rival the dog on the tuckerbox

A BIG bronze statue of Nick Cave might soon look down on Warracknabeal, just like the rock singer.

While mocking his birthplace as conservative and strangely lawless, Cave has long sought a statue.

The one he favours would show him bare-chested on a rearing stallion.

And after a new approach to the council, what seemed like a joke is gaining traction.

The council says it will look at the proposal and dares him to go the whole hog and build a 50m-high Nick Cave with a viewing platform.

Cave, famed for fronting seminal rock bands the Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds, has told a local paper he has already invited celebrity friends to the unveiling.

"Russell Crowe, my mate, has promised to attend," he told the Wimmera Mail Times by email. "Snoop Dogg, a rapper, says he'll come if they let him into the country.

"Kylie Minogue said she wouldn't miss it for the world; she even promised to wear her gold lame hotpants."

Yarriambiack Shire Mayor Andrew McLeod said the statue could be an added tourist attraction to the town.

Mr McLeod said the town, population 2600, had "a dry creek bed and a few dry lakes" for attractions.

He said the town wouldn't pay for a statue but "if he's internationally known, you'd say he'd be making more money than me".

Cave said the Warracknabeal statue would make Gundagai's Dog on the Tuckerbox pale by comparison.

He wants it on a roundabout, but the only one spare is earmarked for a statue of a dingo and her pups.

"I ask you, what could be more indigenous to Warracknabeal than me?" Cave complained to the paper. "I was bloody born there."

Shire chief executive Ray Campling said latest indications were that the Cave camp was serious.

"Why not go the full hog and erect a 50m statue of Nick riding a horse?" he said. "You could have a tourist information booth and people climbing up the horse's neck and viewing out of the nostrils."

I also youtubed Vanessa's support act, because I've never heard of him. He's hot. Enough said. *drool*, but apart from that he's brilliant, will have to see if I can track down a CD or something.

Eddie's latest TV FLOP!

CHANNEL Nine's attempt to resurrect Eddie McGuire as the nation's premier TV game show host has come a cropper. Find out what happened here

Channel Nine's attempt to resurrect Eddie McGuire as the nation's premier TV game show host has come a cropper. Badly.

The McGuire-hosted 1 v 100 has failed miserably, with the game show pulled from its Friday evening timeslot after just two episodes.

The program was shown in Melbourne, while Sydney and Brisbane have the NRL on in that timeslot.

Nine had little choice but to yank the game-show from its schedule when it attracted just 199,000 viewers in his hometown of Melbourne last Friday.

It will be replaced with back-to-back Motorway Patrol - a New Zealand reality series about highways.

Nine had hoped to use 1 v 100, which has been on hiatus since 2007, to spearhead its bid to erode Channel 7's Friday night dominance.

But the game show was belted by Better Homes and Gardens, Seven's highest rating program of the week, with 408,000.

"It was only there to fill a hole," McGuire said of 1 v 100.

"We didn't do any publicity for it. It went as well as you could expect."

With 1 v 100 on the scrap heap and his week-long stint filling in for Tracy Grimshaw on A Current Affair over, McGuire said his next step would "all be announced in good time".

He laughed off rumours that he was leaving Nine to take over from Daryl Somers as host of Dancing With the Stars on rival network Seven.

"It's not what you would expect a Channel 9 person to be doing is it?" he said.

"Unless it was coming to Channel 9 I can't see that happening.

"I am not doing Big Brother either, so let's get that out of the way."

He said he would not be returning to host the AFL version of The Footy Show, as some had suggested.

"It already has two hosts and the only person missing at the moment is Sam (Newman) and I can't see myself doing that," he said.

1 v 100 is the latest in a long line of new game shows to flounder on commercial television in recent years.

The Power of 10, also on Nine, was axed after just two episodes. The Rich List, fronted by Andrew O'Keefe on Seven was pulled from Saturday nights when it didn't rate and much-hyped National Bingo Night was a flop. Ten's ConTest hosted by Andrew G was also a failure.
